happy blogday to you!

so my abba just turned.... well i don't know if he wants that posted on the internet, but needless to say he just had a birthday and matt and i were priviledge enough to spend it with him. it included three-evening-hang-out-sessions.

day 1: abba cooked a deliciously spicy rice dish with broccoli & cauliflower. yum! but we almost did have to call the fire department, it was that hot! then we got to listen to a most thoughtful gift sent by my sister anvah from Israel. She emailed my dad 2 songs recorded with her singing. WOW! what a voice! afterwards, dad beat me at 500 rummy (nothing new) and matt popped in for a hello.

day 2: after the present opening, matt and i took abba out for a much long overdue indian dinner at RASOI, where we ordered yellow lentils with garlic & ginger, saag paneer (spinach & cheese dish), and a roasted eggplant dish. all served with yummy basmati rice.

day 3: the real fun begins! jk, it was all wonderful. but that evening we went to watch the albuquerque isotopes beat the new orleans zephyrs (baseball). it was a great game, 7-4 and we enjoyed beer and peanuts while matt made a few outrageous (outrageously funny) comments to the ball players.

so, to wrap it up, i'd say it was a pretty good blogday, i hope my abba agrees!
